Literally perfect Glasto weather. Which I don't think has ever happened.

2010...?

[majormajormajor]

Looks better, yep!

[JamesThresher]

2010...?

 

2010 was punishingly hot, something in the low to mid 20's with partial cloud coverage would be perfect.

[Mark it Zero!]

I remember 2003 being a scorcher, didn't rain until the Sunday night during Sigur Ros, which is pretty much the perfect rainy band anyway.

 

That and 2010 are the two greatest Glastonbury's in terms of weather for me.

just avoid the UK Precipitation charts....

 

On this website http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfs/royaume-uni/accumulation-precipitations/240h.htm

 

The accumulative rainfall is 6mm between now and Tuesday. This goes up to 7mm between 2pm and 8pm on Wednesday.

 

We can deal with 1mm of rain can't we?!

If the ground is currently dry it should be easy.

Things looking altogether more positive today

[justperfect]

I sweat more than that on my comedown

[Glastonlocal]

Could someone post us up some positive looking lines and pictures? thanks x

[ThomThomDrum]

2010...?

 

Dont bloody start!

 

Nals talking "perfect".....................2010 was not "perfect" by a long long way no matter what the hell any one person thinks/thought

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

BUMP.

 

The Weather Thread got buried by dozens of people deciding to start new, near-identical, threads about Florence and the Machine. And we can't have that...

Netweather for Shepton Mallet (using Shepton as Pilton on netweather is awful and therefore they clearly mean the one in Scotland)

Though not sure it makes any sense. 0.0mm of Precipitation on Friday. Prec Risk 85%. If there is an 85% risk of no rain then that's OK, right!

You linked to scottish Pilton though?

 

Either way yeah I see where you're coming from. At least the predicted rain in the week leading up to it is minimal/the site should be bone dry. Which is what Jackone has been saying in his forecasts also.

Sssssooooo....who's got some more charts?

[justperfect]

I sense everyone has hit a bit of a low following the headliner announcement. Let's hope the afternoon runs continue on an upward trend and bring a bit of cheer to the boards

Latest (06z) GFS ensembles look pretty good overall, operational run gives a dry festival:

Yes, I think you're right there. I find speculation over the weather much more exciting than speculation over the festival itself.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Yes, I think you're right there. I find speculation over the weather much more exciting than speculation over the festival itself.

 

I concur 0 the festival will happen and bands will play.

 

The weather will do something...... but what?

 

 

I like the last chart - stick please.

[JoeyT]

Next GFS charts out late afternoon. Let's hope a dry theme continues.

Yes!!

 

Top stuff, tazbang (and a great name as well)! Is there anyway you can chop off the top of that chart, or does it just come this way?

[Dora]

Agreed, weather means more to me than who might sub the Friday when I've already planned around that now.

[tazbang]

Yes!!

Sorry, just lifted it from netweather, that's how it comes.

Here's a nice map. There's a low to the North and a high to the South. It's just a question of where they fall, so I doubt there'll be any certainty for a few days, if at all. Having said that, I'd say that the likelihood of no rain is low, but the likelihood of mudbath is also low. Probably a few showers that won't cause mud problems.
